Abstract
Although the overall rate of prosthetic joint infection (PJI) is low, it remains a major complication associated with total joint arthroplasty (TJA). PJI represents a significant economic burden to the health care system that is projected to increase commensurate with increasing joint replacement volumes. This review provides a rank-ordered list of cost-effective strategies that are performable intraoperatively and have data supporting their efficacy at preventing PJI after TJA. This study may be helpful in assisting surgeons, ambulatory surgery center owners, and hospital acquisition committees to make reasonable and cost-conscious decisions in the face of changing reimbursement.
